Atletico, who are still attempting to win a first Champions League under Diego Simeone, may have revenge on their minds: the hosts lost the 2014 and 2016 Champions League finals to their city rivals, and also suffered defeats in the knockout stages in 2015 and 2017.

It’s almost 11 years since Real Madrid won their 10th European Cup with a last-gasp victory over their city rivals Atletico Madrid in the Lisbon final. What became of that iconic team? Carlo Ancelotti is back in the Madrid hot seat and has since delivered another two Champions League trophies since he returned for a second stint in 2021.

UEFA decided to abolish the away goal rule from all of its European tournaments. An interesting call, given it allowed the team with the most away goals to advance if both sides ended the tie with the same aggregate score in knockout stage matches.
